This week a major PHP exploit went public. While admins worked hard to roll out the patch, AI was already reverse-engineering it within minutes. Jon, Emily, and Nicole unpack what that means for your church.

Jon covers the latest security wave (19.7, 18.7, and 17.11) and why we won't be patching three major versions anymore. Itʼs another critical reason to stay current on the latest secure version. With Early Access and the grant program, thereʼs no reason to be behind.

Emily shares how to get the most out of RX26: set your out-of-office reminder, build your schedule, plan sessions as a team, join a community dinner, stay out late in the Renaissance lobby, and look for someone who needs a friend.

AI got very good at surfacing security vulnerabilities fast. In this episode of Rock Cast, Jon, Emily, and Nicole share the story behind Rockʼs recent security releases.

Jon explains how the team built a series of agents to scan Rockʼs code, why Rockʼs flexibility makes every fix a balancing act, and whether Rock will stay open source.

The main takeaway here is that security is a two-way street. The core team is working its hardest to roll out fixes, but they only protect your church once you install them. As a Rock admin, hereʼs your 5 step action plan to make sure your church stays protected and secured:

1. Install security releases when they land.
2. Watch for the red banner on your homepage.
3. Work through the field types guide and move your Lava over.
4. Keep cleaning up predictable IDs.
5. Report security issues through Talos.
